Chapter 171: Broken Cauldron and Sinking Boat!

After a period of time, the Jin army counted the casualties, a total of 83,000 killed, 13,000 seriously wounded, and 40,000 lightly wounded, with a total of 148,000 casualties, deducting 40,000 minor injuries, so that the strength of the Jin army was sharply reduced from 440,000 to 330,000, and then the 120,000 to protect the command battalion were deducted, and the available strength was only 210,000.

Hit hard again!

Next, the Qin and Jin sides began to clean up the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses and stumps of flesh and blood.

At this time, he had changed into a clean black dragon robe and bronzing dragon pattern boots, but his hair was still a little wet, and he had not yet worn a hairpin crown, and his hair was scattered, and his face was full of fatigue and a hint of whiteness, and he looked a little embarrassed overall.

In addition to Ying Chang in the handsome position, the officials of the imperial court such as Prime Minister Chang Zifei, Du Yushi Changqing, Wuwang Bai Qi, Hussar General Du Changjing and other officials of the imperial court all stood on both sides of the big tent, and their positions were based on the position of the Qilin Palace.

The text is on the left, and the martial arts are on the right!

Only Yang Xiao was not included, because this kind of deliberation already belonged to the government, and Yang Xiao was a woman without grade, so he was naturally not allowed to enter the account.

"You're tired, don't stand, sit!"

Ying Chang's tone was a little weak, and he pressed his hand weakly, and motioned for everyone to sit down, now Ying Chang really wants to fall on the bed and sleep for three or four days, but the current situation is tense, and no time can be wasted, and everything must be arranged to rest at ease.

Everyone nodded, and sat directly on the ground, because there were no stools.

After everyone sat down, Ying Chang glanced around at everyone with gratifying eyes, "You Aiqing can come to Yangguan, I am both surprised and relieved, I think, the entire Kyushu countries, only our Great Qin Empire can do this, I am proud of you..."

Yingchang's slightly pale face squeezed out a sickly smile, and her tone was still very weak.

"Your Majesty, this is what a courtier should do, you are proud of us, the same, we are also proud of you, Daqin has Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to rain and the sky will be clear, and the scorching sun of Daqin will also rise!" Changzi Frisbee sat on the ground and said excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"It always makes sense!"

All the ministers spoke one after another, and after talking for a while, the big tent quieted down, and Ying Chang was silent for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "If an empire wants to truly become a strong country, it can't rely on a wise emperor alone, it needs the unity of the monarch and the subjects, for example, this time, if it weren't for the fact that the old Qin people were not afraid of death and did not distinguish between the old and the young, we would be able to gather here!" ”

"yes!"

"The patriotic heart of the old Qin people is seen in Kyushu!"

When all the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.

"What about the casualties in this battle?" Ying Chang looked at Luo Xing, and when Luo Xing heard this, he immediately raised his hands and saluted, and said with a hint of grief on his face: "Your Majesty, in this battle, our army suffered 70,000 casualties, including 25,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division, 8,000 recruits, 37,000 old Qin people, 180 seriously injured, and 3,000 lightly injured..."

Luo Xing's expression was both sad and weak, and when he said the back, his tone was choked, and his eyes quickly turned red and moist.

The reason why the number of seriously wounded in this battle is small is because even if the seriously wounded soldiers were seriously wounded, they endured severe pain and died with the Jin army, and the 1,000 seriously wounded soldiers left in the last battle were only three or four left!

"Annihilation!"

Ying Chang raised his head with a painful expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

50,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division, 30,000 soldiers of Yangguan, almost finished, this is undoubtedly the old wound is not good for the Great Qin Empire, and a new wound is repaired, which can be said to be worse, the national strength has dropped again, not only the 80,000 regular army has been wiped out, but the old, weak, women and children have died nearly 40,000.

It is estimated that after this battle is over, there will be empty cities and empty counties in all parts of Daqin.

Ying is always in pain, and so are the ministers.

The Great Qin Empire finally went in a good direction, but it was beaten back to the same as a year ago, or even weaker than a year ago.

"Chang Xiang, I ask you, if this battle is won, how will my Great Qin make up for the lack of troops and population?" Ying Chang looked at Chang Zifei and asked.

Chang Zifei frowned, his eyebrows fell into contemplation, and after a while, Chang Zifei said with a solemn look: "Your Majesty, the population is the strength of the army, and the only way to restore the population is to rest and recuperate without a fight for a long time, but the minister knows that His Majesty wants to recapture the four counties in the southeast and north in a short period of time, and it is unlikely that he will take a long break without a fight!" ”

"So at present, there is only one way, that is, to break the cauldron and sink the boat, transfer 50,000 Yang family troops from Xiguan, and use 50,000 Yang family troops to recover the four counties in the southeast and north, as long as the four counties are recaptured, they can supplement the lack of population in our Great Qin, and with the population, there will be troops!"

Chang Zifei's voice fell, and many ministers frowned, and they all heard Chang Zifei's meaning, this is to break the jar and break it, gamble, the bet is whether the 50,000 Yang family army can regain the lost territory, if it is recaptured, Daqin will be able to recover by relying on the population of the four counties in the southeast and north, if it can't be recaptured, the Qin Empire will lose 50,000 troops again, and Xiguan will also be under great pressure, and the Qin Empire will be even more difficult than now.

Ying Chang was silent, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and transferring the troops of Xiguan, he didn't think about it, but Xiguan has a great responsibility, while preventing the Qiang people, while guarding against the Nanguan Jin army in Nanyang, although the Qiang people are currently in civil strife and are unable to attack Qin, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to bite Daqin.

You must know that Daqin is facing the crisis of extinction, once Daqin is destroyed, the source of Qiang iron will be cut off, rather than this, they might as well take a bite of Daqin and gnaw a piece of fat before Daqin is destroyed, so that even if Daqin is destroyed, the Kama tribe will not lose, and the shrewd Kama tribe leader Qi Qitor will not think of it.

And the Jin army in Nanguan has also been keeping an eye on the movements of the Yang family's army, and has long revealed that they want to enter Hexi and swallow one of the few counties in the Qin Empire.

Just to see if Yingchang dares to take off his pants and gamble, he bet on whether the Qiang and Nanguan Jin armies will take the opportunity to attack Hexi, as long as one of the two launches an attack, such as the Nanguan Jin army, then it will be very dangerous, after all, there is no pass between Hexi and Nanyang, and the Qin army can only rely on the city to garrison the enemy, and cannot be like Yangguan, with one to ten.

And once the Nanguan Jin army launched an offensive to Hexi, Xiguan had to mobilize troops to defend, as soon as Xiguan moved, the number of troops was greatly reduced, and there may be one or two thousand left, and the greedy Qiang people may also take advantage of the hot time of the Qin and Jin fights, stand up and pick peaches, no matter whose peaches the Qiang people pick, it will not be beneficial to Daqin, because this peach is picked from Daqin.
